History of the writing of "Plumage"[edit source]
By User Happytimes[edit source]
(Actually this is more of a rough draft than a flushed out time line.)[edit source]
- I spent TOO much time editing Cat.
- Thought to myselfs, "That reference to color in the top description box is too short/unfunny/not descriptive enough."
- Searched for color/species/texture/painting article to link to and found none.
- I spent TOO much time editing Cat.
- Began to create Plumage as a multiple article sub-tab stub (to be the "straight guy" to others humorous witticisms).
- I spent TOO much time editing Plumage, laughing all the time.
- Added cross-linking from other articles to Plumage while searching for terms to add to the descriptor section.
- I spent TOO much time editing Plumage, laughing all the time.
- Discovered work too long to be a stub like article.
- Finished article, read it again and thought, "Eh... this needs more funny... I think...." or something.
- Requested review on Zana Dark's Talk Page.
- Had some friends read my article & on average received (no LMAO's,) two LOL's & one chuckle .
- Friends were slightly drunk (= not dunk (or sober) enough) so I revised score to two LOL's only.
- Considered Pee Review, but balked due to scariness of said review as I haven't done that yet. Decided to wait for time & full sobriety. Went clubbing.
- Additional time editing Cat was spent. (Linked Plumage.)
- Found on Plumage User Sycamore's:
- Thought "OMGWTFBBQ how DARE they
BerateCriticize my work!?! I am.... - Then I got over myself and thought, "Eh... this needs more funny... I think...." or something.
- Stole image (of "Tim") from User:Sycamore for Plumage.
- Asked Sycamore why he added tag. (Was page too snarky?) And for help.
- Decided to ask for Pee Review if after editor's edits it was still only a two to four LOL score.
- I edited Ice Cream Flavors Not in the Top 100 for inspiration = fail.
- Sycamore made some edits (I'll miss "Tim" as a type of mage but I guess no article really needs a Monty Python reference ... let alone two.) and then responded on his user_talk page here
- Zana_Dark responded on her user_talk page here.
- I responded to Zana_Dark, (and gave myself about a week & a half to come up with new, good ideas.)
- I responded to Sycamore, (article seems a bit too racist now, needs more references to soften blow. More links great idea!) ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!* ~ ~ 02:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- After much pondering I figured out two basic problems with the article: Bad flow and Two ideas struggling for the same space like a couple of fresh pants-weasels fighting for domination. (Made some edits for structure, added some links & a couple of pics.)
- Figured out I'm a mix of Lawful Good/Lawful Neutral/Chaotic Neutral. ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!* ~ ~ 06:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- ...Needs work...
- ...I'll get around to it.
- ...etc. ....
- Found Plumage on my watchlist being added to VFD; thought "
OMGWTFBBQ how DARE theyThose BASTARDS!!!! - Then I got over myself and thought, "Eh... Those BASTARDS *arrrgh!* ... this might needs more funny... this might needs killings." or something.
- etc.
